- Description
- FAR 6.303-2 Justification for other than full and open competition The US Forest Service intends to award a sole source contract to ARCOM, 465 South 400 East, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, UT, 84111. The contract will be for the combined/consolidated master contract of all forests and districts currently participating in the MasterSpec® subscription. This effort is a renewal of individual existing software licenses and consolidating them into one master contract. This reduces duplication of duties, which also reduces the cost to the government by bundling the subscriptions into one account. This procurement is for the acquisition of a sole source commercial item using simplified procedures in accordance with FAR part 13. The performance period is four years from date of award. Authority for other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other suppliers or services will satisfy agency requirements. This requirement is for renewal of existing software license. MasterSpec®, published by ARCOM for The American Institute of Architects (AIA), is the preeminent master guide specification system for use on building and construction projects and design firms' office masters. MasterSpec® is copyrighted by the AIA (American Institute of Architects) and is exclusively published by ARCOM for the AIA. MasterSpec® is a registered trademark of the AIA. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETATIVE PROPOSALS. However, all interest and capability statements, including prices, received by January 19th, 2015 at 12:00pm (CST) will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is soley within discretion of the Government. The applicable North American Industry Classification (NAICS) is 511199 - All other Publishers.
